Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.3) OS: Linux I've set my KDE Control > Focus > Focus Stealing Prevention Level from its default (low) to higher settings (extreme), in order to prevent exactly that: focus stealing. I expect this to: 1. prevent other apps from stealing my focus 2. prevent popups from this app from stealing my focus However, what happens in reality is that new windows/popups go below my current window. That isn't at all what I wanted. I want my focus to stay where it is and allow me to continue to work on that window, with the popup still being on top (unless I click on something that would cause it to be otherwise). I have Focus Follows Mouse set so that i can work where I point, not where the popups are. This should only steal my focus for new windows if my parent window cannot do anything while the child window is open Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Set Focus Stealing Prevention to Extreme. Open a program with multiple windows, for example Gimp. Try to open a dialog (for example, a color correction dialog) that allows me to continue editing the image while this new window is open. The new window opens below the existing window. I don't want this new dialog to be hidden, I just didn't want it to steal my focus-follows-mouse. Actual Results: The new window opens below the existing window. Expected Results: I don't want this new dialog to be hidden, I just didn't want it to steal my focus-follows-mouse. Perhaps my setting of 'Extreme' causes this behaviour that I don't want, and another option would better suit my needs? If so, can these various levels of Focus-Stealing-Prevention be clarified in the Configure Window Behaviour dialog? Thanks for KDE!
